Vikings QB Options Dwindle to a Pair of Realistic Trade Targets

Vikings Territory argues that the 6-1 Minnesota Vikings should consider Daniel Jones and Kirk Cousins as their top realistic trade targets ahead of the NFL trade deadline. With Kyler Murray sidelined by injury, the Vikings plan to start Carson Wentz on Monday Night Football, but writer K. Joudry believes the team needs an upgrade at quarterback to support its strong defense and special teams.

According to reporting cited from ESPN's Ian Rapoport, the Indianapolis Colts have fielded calls for Jones, with Minnesota speculated as a potential landing spot. Meanwhile, Joudry suggests Minnesota's best option would be pursuing a trade for Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Kirk Cousins, while dismissing rumors involving Justin Herbert and Mac Jones as largely unrealistic.
